Sometimes simple is better…duh, right guys? Now back in your cages.

The Vans skate team pooled all of their creativity to collectively design the Men's Chukka Low Skate Shoe. That's why it's such a simple design. The less-is-more concept applied to these classic kicks means long-lasting quality due to lack of excessive frills and unnecessary extras. A waffle sole improves board feel and adds cushioning to your landings and long skate sessions, while their light weight makes you feel like you're skating barefoot (which we don't recommend).

Great Casual Sneaker

I got these for my husband and they are his new favorite shoe regardless of the weather. He's been wearing them in the snow and rain, to work, out grocery shopping, and out to dinner. They are super comfortable and very stylish!

"Adequate for the job" fits these well

Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Fit: True to size

This is a decent shoe. I bought them to skate but decided to switch them over to use as a pair I can just wear casually. I wouldn't recommend skating these. I wore a small hole in around the pink toe in just one day's use skating these. As other reviews have also mentioned, these are not going to treat your heels well jumping down stair sets. They have a great look, they feel fantastic on the pedals of a motorcycle rolling through town, but I wouldn't pick these up if you plan on skating them for more than a day.

Classic style, more comfort

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

When I buy Vans I usually just go for the era core classic, but wanted to try these out. They have a lot more stability to them than classic vans, and the tongue padding is nice. I wore these for a whole week abroad where I walked many miles each day. They kept my feet feeling pretty good. My heels got pretty sore though! For a shoe that is more skateable it would be nice if they changed the inserts to have more padding.

So comfy

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

Fit: True to size

Definitely love these shoes. Awesome to skate in for sure and not an awkwardly large profile. Great board feel and soft soles, though I'll agree about the heel in previous review, don't land to hard on them or you might cry a little bit for a couple days. I mainly love them because they're just sooooooo comfortable on my feets. Overall an awesome shoe!

Great shoe.

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

The design of the sole makes it great for board feel, so it's great for skating ledges, flatground, and more technical tricks, but it's not very cushioned around the heel, don't jump down Andrew Reynolds style drops or you'll be hobbling for days. The thin tread also contributes to a short shoe life, but the price is low enough that it's not too big of a deal. The leather on the front toe of the shoe is fairly sturdy however, so you're not going to be sporting your toe outside of the shoe. The higher laces are a great design to help prevent lace damage. Also the cushioning around the ankle is great for people who have grandpa joints. All that mixed with the classic style make for a great shoe.

Dig 'em

I've been an Old Skool man for years, but decided to switch it up and get these instead. The tongue is padded, which is good for comfort. The look sick, and have the Vans soles that I love. All around a great shoe!

Buying Another Pair 4 Sure!

I've never owned a pair of Vans and always wanted this style. Bought the Grey on Grey ones and could not be happier with my decision. So stylish, so comfortable and quality is top notch. Definitely getting another pair in different colors someday soon.

Vans Chukka Low Skate Shoe - Men's

Classic for a Reason

You can't go wrong with these shoes. Great feel, great fit, and they just look sick. True to size as I have 13's and they fit great. Kind of thin on the top part of the toe, but that is the only thing that I can complain about. Had the same pair for about 2 years now and the bottom sole is holding up great still and all the seams are staying together still. I haven't skated in these much, not a fan of the way they feel on my board, so this adds the how long they have lasted.

Great shoe

Amazingly stylish and even more comfortable. Wear to the beach then out on a date later that night. Super versatile. Only reason its 4 *s is bc they wear out after a while. Wore mine at least 5 days a week for a year and they have been retired due to the sides ripping out and holes in the heels. Nevertheless, amazing shoe. Great buy.

Answer Erica's Question

The Vans Chukka Low is a great shoe and does contain suede. The toe, heal and around the ankle are all suede with a canvas side panel. They currently do not make the Chukka Low in an action leather or all suede option. There is Vans 106 in an all black suede available. The 106 and the Chukka Low are pretty much the same shoe. The 106 just has less padding.

some of the models do have all leather, like the mo blue colorway is all leather, it just depends the colorway for some reason, so you'd just have to look at a store or just in person, and then buy them here

Do you ship to worldwide

Answer aon_aloha's Question

Unfortunately, Vans is one brand that we cannot ship outside of the United States due to international shipping restrictions. For future reference, here is a link to a list of all brands we cannot ship out of the U.S.: http://sales.liveperson.net/hc/s-9551721/cmd/kbresource/kb-7884819357594707424/view_question!PAGETYPE?sc=120&sp=94&sf=101133&documentid=239527&action=view&VisitorProfile=BCS2&MESSAGEVAR!home=yes&MESSAGEVAR!cookie=no&MESSAGEVAR!docid=239527

Answer Bob's Question

Vans has always made a quality product that gets better as you wear them so I guess it all depends on what you mean by last. The Van Chukka Low is a Vulcanize Rubber which is durable and will stand the wear and tear of everyday use. The upper on the shoe is usually a canvas. If you are using these to skate, the grip tape will wear a hole in the canvas but make these have that worn in look that people like. For day to day use and just something to wear around the Chukka Low is a great choice. I have about 5 pairs of Vans and have had some pairs for years.

Answer Jason Mesker's Question

The Van Chukka Low is usually made of a canvas or heavy fabric material. They are not leather so they will not last as long as a leather shoe would. Don't let that frighten you. They won't rip but they will get holes in them, especially in the ollie area. The holes are cool though and add a nice worn look to the shoe. I highly recommend the Chukka Low.

Answer Jonah Imoo's Question

Vans usually have the tendency to run about a half size big. I wouldn't be afraid to buy the Chukka Low 11.5 though. I have a pair of the Manchester in the same size as my vans and the fit is very similar.
